Tips for Making the Best Pollo Pibil:
- Use bone-in, skin-on chicken thighs or breasts. This will help keep the chicken moist and flavorful during cooking.
- Make sure to marinate the chicken for at least 30 minutes, or up to overnight. This will help the chicken absorb all the delicious flavors of the marinade.
- Roast the chicken at a high temperature to start, then reduce the heat to finish cooking. This will help the chicken get a crispy skin while still staying juicy on the inside.
- Serve the chicken with your favorite sides, such as rice, beans, or tortillas.

Pollo pibil is a delicious and flavorful Mexican dish that is perfect for any occasion. It is easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste preferences. So next time you are looking for a new recipe to try, give pollo pibil a try! You won't be disappointed.
